Rainbow Batting Cages will be Replaced for 2009

As mentioned earlier here, some punks thought it would be fun to tear up the batting cages at the Rainbow Softball Center. There was a lot of consideration given to not replacing them due to the amount of maintenance these machines require.

However, with the help of feedback from our softball league players, it was decided to go ahead and begin the process of replacing the elevator, token boxes and the four pitching machines. We'll put the items out for bid this month and should take delivery on the new equipment by the end of October or early November. Park staff will do the install and by the start of the 2009 spring season, Rainbow league players will have brand new pitching machines.

We'll also look at how we can better secure the machines so that this doesn't happen again in the future. Thanks again for your comments!
